Let's see it with a binocular By the way, Jupiter passes near by a globular cluster M22 in the middle of this summer holidays, from August 10 to 25. A globular cluster is a set of densely gathering ...

The globular cluster Messier 22 (M22) reaches its highest point in the sky around midnight local time, specifically for observers south of 46° N latitude, since M22’s position favors the ...

Most globular clusters are round, but not M22. It’s elliptical, with the long dimension angled northeast-southwest. This odd shape is apparent through nearly all scopes and even in larger ...

Globular clusters are tightly packed groups of tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of stars, bound by gravity into a dense glittering sphere about 100 light years wide.

A globular cluster glitters with starlight in a new photo from the Hubble Space Telescope. Located 15,000 light-years from Earth, the globular cluster — formally known as Terzan 12 — is ...

And second, although stars in a cluster are closer together than out in the field (i.e., not in a cluster), the average distance between two stars in a globular cluster is still about 1 light-year.

Globular clusters are ancient collections of stars from a galaxy’s infancy and contain clues about its earliest phases of formation and growth. From their initial analysis of 12 of these compact ...

“The detailed analysis revealed that the source was outside M22,” explains Jetzer. “A low-mass star acted as a lens within the globular cluster itself.” Low-mass stars instead of dark matter?

Globular clusters are ancient — nearly 10 billion years old (our universe is thought to be about 13.8 billion years old). They contain tens of thousands or even millions of stars in a tight sphere.

LMC is located about 162,000 light-years away from Earth. “Hubble revolutionized the study of globular clusters,” ESA officials have previously written.
